South Whitehall police are still looking for the man who allegedly was involved in a shots-fired incident and who pistol-whipped another man at 3:22 p.m. July 18 at the Econo Lodge, 1151 Bulldog Drive, South Whitehall.

According to South Whitehall police, an officer responding to reports of multiple gunshots and an aggravated assault, was told the suspect had fired several shots from a handgun with the rounds striking several vehicles and a nearby building.

Police say the victim who was later identified as Androsi Pena, 39, of Leesport, Berks County, received multiple lacerations on his head and scalp from the pistol-whipping.

He was treated by Cetronia Ambulance Corps personnel and transported to Lehigh Valley Hospital, Salisbury Township.

The suspect is described as a black male, wearing red sweatpants and a white sleeveless T-shirt with “graffiti” type writing on it.

He was last seen walking toward Crackersport Road.

The area was checked by officers from several assisting police agencies, police say, but the man was not located.

According to the affidavit of probable cause obtained July 21 from District Judge Jake Hammond’s office, South Whitehall Township Police Officer Chad Ellis, a detective with the Drug Task Force, states he responded 4:30 p.m. to assist with the shots-fired incident at the motel.

Ellis states upon arrival he was told a vehicle was stopped in the parking lot of the motel due to the driver fitting the shooter’s description.

According to Ellis, there was a plastic bag with a white, brown rock, powdery substance possibly narcotics in plain view on the rear seat of the vehicle.

According to the affidavit, the driver of the vehicle allegedly gave consent to police to search the vehicle and also allegedly admitted there were drugs in the bag.

The contents of the bag allegedly field tested positive for heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine.

Ellis states approximately 577 grams of cocaine, 638 grams of methamphetamine and 73 grams of heroin were seized.

In addition, there a large sum of money was found in the bag with the drugs.

According to the affidavit, the driver, who is unnamed in the affidavit, told police the drugs were removed from Pena’s room after he asked the driver to do so as police were responding.

Ellis states the driver of the vehicle allegedly said he was holding the drugs for Pena until he would contact him.

Pena was charged with three felony counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and three misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance, according to the affidavit.

He was arraigned July 19 by District Judge Michael Joseph Pochron, Allentown, and his bail was set at $100,000.

Pena was released from Lehigh County Jail after posting bail that day.

His preliminary hearing is set for Aug. 21 before District Judge Hammond.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone who may have any additional information is requested to contact Detective Chad Moyer at 610-398-0337.
